need tips for keeping down comforter in place inside duvet cover
Comments (22)The duvet (the comforter part) should be the same size as the cover. I've found that comforters are usually not the same size as proper duvets and don't fit the covers properly. Seems there is little standardization in these products. We bought our first duvets and duvet covers in Europe and no problem with shifting, just gave them a shake in the morning and they were in place. The covers fit perfectly which I'm sure was the reason why they didn't shift. I think clips or buttons would be uncomfortable if you actually used the duvet. If you only use it for decoration turned back no problem. Ties might be more comfortable....See MoreNeed oversized duvet cover help?
Comments (4)I recently purchased an oversized down comforter from overstock.com that was that size and love it. See the link below. It was the largest one I could find, and I wish I'd even found one a bit bigger for our king bed but it's so much better than the size they usually are and covers the mattress quite well. This one also happens to be a very high fill, so very warm. We like that because DH loves to be warm, I love soft fluffy covers, and we sleep with a window open. Overstock might have others now as well. What's nice is that at least they show the measurements. For the duvet cover I found an oversized one at csn.com (now it's called wayfair.com) that was about the same size--slightly smaller unfortunately 110 x 96 but works ok, and the price was great. Again I would still love to find even a slightly bigger duvet cover someday because my mattress is so tall. The one I got is Chelsea Frank brand called Emma--white tone on tone stripe with cording. They had great service and shipping was free as well as return shipping if needed. I agree that size is hard to find. Here's the link for that one, and there are others in that brand that are the same size, but I'm not sure if they're the same weight. I particularly like the weight of mine, but did have to iron it after washing it, but daily use seems to not wrinkle it much. Chelsea Frank Duvet cover HTH. Here is a link that might be useful: Overstock.com 108 x 98 down comforter...See MoreNeed curtains and duvet cover
Comments (17)Thanks everyone! I have 3 duvets coming and when they arrive I will take pictures and do a poll. I think I will keep my current curtains, line and hem them myself, and use that money towards adding other features to the room, maybe a cute upholstered bench or armchair to bring in color and help fill the space? I'll ask more about that once the duvet is finalized. And thanks @lynartist for all the pics of how grommet curtains should look. I never even realized that my curtains were messy, but now I can't unsee it ha ha ha....See MoreNeed help picking the right color and style duvet cover
